calm times... and open minds. (open thread)

Yes, you were knocked out by my move, I warned you to surrender and you could avoid me doing that to you, but well, things already happened and that's how you ended up, but tell me..... Why didn't you give up when you clearly had no better option?.

Emelia knew about determination, both from what she had done and what she had seen, but it was still so weird for her to think about how that need to hold on made people more than their limit.

[Hagen-Autem]

First, she prioritised putting her mask back where it was. Making sure that with those two centimetres of distance from her face, Emelia would not have the opportunity to uncover it completely.

Leona still needed a moment to attend to her. Her chest was heaving from the sudden awakening, her eyes darted around in search of a distraction to stay conscious and her body needed more oxygen coursing through her veins to keep her lucid; but she wasn't so rude as not to respond to her. Much less to do so lying down.

Keeping the mask on her face, she lifted her. "Because... how will I know my limits if I never reach them?" she said as she tied the drawstrings of her mask with one hand, crestfallen. She sounded very innocent, and the smile she gave Emelia afterwards reaffirmed it.

[Lederface]

Emelia didn't think that Leona was going to notice that her mask would be removed from her body and with that her identity would be revealed, but when she just pulled to release the mask, a hand would grab Emelia's wrist, surprising and scaring her a little in the process, but when she managed to see that Leona came back to consciousness due to her action of the mask, she was happy to some extent..... until she heard Leona, it was clear that she denoted a great will, but there were things that were learned in the ring.

You will break your limits when the time is right.... but every training, every fight you have in which no matter if you lose, your body prepares for when you need to go beyond your limits .

Emelia would say pulling Leona off of her, offering her a hand to help her up.

If only Leona had the same reflexes that she has to hold her mask in place, but to foresee her opponent's moves, would have given her a better chance against those two. Sadly she had been left out of the game, but that felt more like a victory for herself for having absorbed the full body hug without giving in.

For anyone else that would be a stupidity of achievement, but for her it was a reflection of her will. Unfortunately for her innocence, Emelia's words echoed in her head, causing her to analyse a couple of her priorities in an assault. "... I'll keep that in mind." With that said, the oxygen had already enlivened her brain more and her hands were no longer tingling so much. She already felt able to put her own strength into getting up.

So, accepting the hand, she took a deep breath and stood up with a tug of her own. Using Emelia for support as adjusted the hem of her leotard with her fingers again. "I'm sure you'll regret giving me that advice next time we meet" Leona was giving her a modest smile but with defiant, eager eyes with this before fetching her skirt to wear over her leotard it at least while Yukari returns.

Emelia hadn't felt like this for a long time.... as a teacher, normally she was used to being the student, but when she helped Leona up, she would soon laugh at the words of her training partner.

Oh leona, knowing that won't be something that worries me, the only thing that would scare me would be if you arrive with a bigger muscular body than me, but knowing that it's unlikely, I'll just say try hard.

Yukari would soon arrive with a package of items and consumables to rest, so then she would tell Emelia

I will sound mean, but remember that Leona finished her coupon, so when you are about to leave try to arrange everything, for now I will give you 2 your time, we are not all just fighters Emelia... hahahah!

and so the little brown haired girl would leave leaving only Emelia and leona to enjoy a little bit of that tranquility.

[Hagen-Autem]

The lass had some discomfort in her neck, but nothing that a rub and stretch wouldn't correct. She was about to thank her with a bow and then leave with her things when Yukari appeared with the items and left an order for Emelia.

With that inconvenience, she looked hesitantly at Emelia. She swung on her heels as she mumbled before continuing, it would be rude for her to leave and let someone else sort out her mess. "So... can I help you organise the tatami?" Leona made it sound more like a rhetorical question.

Jenny's words made Hana's eyes shine bright and full of emotion, giggling like a little kid and jumping up and down. "Heheheh~" Quite the opposite to the future attitude she would have in their qualifier after her manager teached her the power of resentment and turned her against her friend...

Meanwhile, Akiko listened to Jenny's words with attention, asking if she would fight with some of the gym-goers in a friendly spar. The question and the Tigress shameless manner of introducing it was amusing to the Akuma. "Well, my team will never back down for a challenge. But me personally?" While others may be cautious, the brunette girl was actually getting pumped by the proposition! This girl's attitude may be abit contagious. "Sure! I haven't had a decent fight in ages"

Emelia when she noticed that Leona wanted to help, she placed her hand in front of her face.
You are a guest, and I have a strong need to please these.... You... Enjoy the snacks .

Emelia would say placing the tatami in another place, passing some rags over this tatami, before "placing it" in the indicated area, although all she would have done would have been to throw it like a frisby

Well... That's it, it wasn't much to do either.... Do you want to take advantage of the remaining time? Or do you just want to rest?

[mention]Scourger X[/mention]
Jenny was excited, soon her fight against Hana would happen, and for now it seemed that the leader of her team seemed to be accepting a fight, with her ears perked up..... She would grab the hands of both girls

Damn, if I could right now, I'd challenge both of them to a fight!!!

Jenny would say quite full of the humor she felt at having such friendly girls as allies.

[Hagen-Autem]

Leona nodded with solicitous eyes. Once the woman made it clear that the guests were just to have a good time after their session, Leona just stood there, watched as she folded up the tatami while she herself prepared to leave. She didn't feel like leaving unless it was in a deferential way and was going to wait.

Then she went for a cardboard juice, immersing herself in her own thoughts for a moment. "Mh?... maybe. I have to go to take piano lessons in...," she looks at her watch: "three hours."

Emilia finished setting everything up by sitting down and seeing that Leona looked like she would be willing to stay a while, smiling at that, she would have some, eating a slice of apple

and tell me..... Who invited you to the gym? Usually someone from the Roster invites to the gym, I have the doubt of who brought you....

Emelia would say while she was eating an apple in her mouth.
